Introduction
ECBLv2 is a remake of the ECBL method. ECBLv2 started as only a variant of ECBL but slowly grew into its own method.
Steps
1. EOsPairs
2. COMSLL (0&2)
3. ES2L
4. EP2L
EOsPairs
In this step you solve EO and the 4 d-layer pairs except 2 of these pairs can be swapped diagonally. It is impossible to have 2 pairs swapped adjacently as that would mean EO is unsolved. This step is solved by first solving EO and any 2 d-pairs onto the left, and then solving the remaining right pairs. This step averages 19.3 STM and is entirely intuitive.
COMSLL(0&2)
In this step the corners of the last layer and the pairs of the first 2 layers are solved at the same time using one of 85 algorithms. This algorithm set is broken down into 2 smaller sets. COMSLL-0 is the set of algorithms that purely solves the top layer corners while not swapping the pairs it averages 10.3 HTM and has 42 algorithms. COMSLL-2 is an algorithm set that solves the top layer corners and swaps the bottom pairs diagonally, this set averages 10.4 HTM and has 43 algorithms.
ES2L
In this step the edges of the U/D layers are separated into their own respective layers. This step has 7 algorithms and averages 4.9 STM. This step is very easy and simple.
EP2L
In this step the edges of the U/D layers are permuted within their layers in order to finish solving the cube. This takes 49 algorithms and averages 8.6 STM. This step can also be 2-looked in 9 algorithms by permuting one face at a time.
Pros
- Better L8EP recognition
- More efficient
- Easier inspection
Cons
- More algorithms than ECBL
- Some people may find COMSLL(0&2) recognition difficult
